| Abstract: | The variational problem of determining the optimal contour of an outlet system consisting of the supersonic jet-engine nozzle and the tail of the flight vehicle is solved by the direct method. Some optimal contours of two-dimensional outlet systems are calculated taking the effects of the external flow, the base, the angle of attack, and certain other factors into account. Moscow.
